Date of Birth:February 27, 285 AD City and Empire of birth: Naisuss, Upper Moesia Date of Death: May 22, 337 AD Famous Family Members (if any):Uncle: Claudius, Mother: Helena( St. Helena), Married twice, Six children List any significant historical events this individual participated in AND his/her role in these events: One significant historical event Emperor Constantine participated in was Christianity. He brought a new religion to Rome. Emperor Constantine convinced Rome to believe in one god instead of the many different gods. Why should future students learn about this individual? I think a future student should learn about Emperor Constantine because the book doesn't talk about him. I was scanning through the list and came across him and I thought, " Who is this person?". So I think you should always learn about someone who isn't in your text book very much. He is a great example on a person who does some good for Rome.
